There was no way he was getting out of the purchase, and most of the serious business law and contract law experts were pretty confident in that. While there were plenty of people who did have doubts, they were mostly uninformed or in denial.

Seems like having a website where you openly brag about coercing women into doing pornography with dubious consent isn't a good idea if you want to stay out of jail, but IANAL

Oh yeah, to be clear I'm not meaning to claim that there's some evil cabal who went "Initiate Operation Ultra Liar Man", I mostly mean that Republicans will most likely circle the wagons and protect this guy from consequences as much as they are able to without putting themselves out there because if the guy ends up keeping his seat and not getting arrested it provides them with a useful precedent for the future.

He seems to be claiming that they do it out of love for him, but I suspect the reason the Romanian police are interested is that "love" actually means coercion, of one kind or another.

On the topic of Tate, if similar crimes were committed in multiple countries how is it decided where he is charged and serve prison time? Is some sort of negotiation done in terms of extradition or something? And God he better serve loving prison time

Often the person in the country of arrest has some ability to fight extradition using the legal system of that country.

From what I've heard from teachers a certain segment of teenaged boys idolize him and latch onto his every word. He's a symptom of the much larger Problem With Men rather than the cause but millions of people giving millions of dollars to a sex trafficker is bad in itself.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Additionally, in lies with no legal consequences news, his story about his mom dying during 9/11 has shockingly turned out to be false and she was confirmed to have died in early 2016. Oop looks like he changed it again, it was her being enveloped in the cloud of debris that gave her the cancer that killed her, she refused to sign up for aid for survivors because she didn’t want to take money away from first responders and they could afford to take care of their medical bills.

Oracle posted:No it wasn’t his mom that died in 9/11 it was allegedly four employees of his mom’s then company who died when the towers fell and this led to his mom going broke and was why they were poor. Or something. None of those are true because 9/11 is code for IK, which stands for International Kombat, an underground bloodsport tournament. She wasn't paying attention during signups and mistakenly signed up for a 911 fight, which is also a Kombat Kode (this is how these tournaments work for those not "in the know") for Armless Kombat. At the start of her fight her arms were immediately removed and she died of bloodloss. Her opponent was deeply traumatized because he had used a Slo-Mo Kode - 433 - which meant that he was forced to observe her dying in agony for longer than usual. Later he named a song after that Kode to express his sadness to others. Zachack fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Dec 31, 2022 |

His mom clearly died FROM 9/11, not IN 9/11. I'm sure at this point the dude is just a compulsive liar and that is probably why he thought he would be so good at politics.

It would not have been hard at all to dismantle these lies. Leave Dalton alone! (Ok, Johnny got his gun wasn't exactly an enjoyable read). Since I learned about this Tate guy (yesterday) I've been asking around and nobody seems to know who the gently caress he is. Of course the large majority of people I interact with daily do not have social media, which seems increasingly to be an objectively good decision for individuals and society at large.

I'm amused at the utter failure of New York media to hold a very simple to bury candidate like George Santos to account because they likely expected the Republicans to win overwhelmingly or wanted them to. The failing New York Times! Now the Times is doing click-stories like it's anything else that's happening that wasn't a direct result of their incompetence. I'm glad all the journos who went out swinging on twitter the day this was revealed have all suddenly gone silent. Nonsense fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Dec 31, 2022 |

All the media in New York was too busy wailing about how crime was at Death Wish levels to look into some guy that lost last cycle. Meanwhile the Democrats are desperately lying that they knew it, but the mean old media just wouldn't pick up the story. Here's their oppo research https://dccc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/George-Santos-Research-Book.pdf As far as I can tell from quickly skimming through it, they realized some comparatively low level for a politician financial malfeasance was going on. However they didn't even really dig into that. All the insane lies that have recently been uncovered are nowhere to be found in their research. Almost all their research is focused on showing that Santos is as MAGA as he says he is. Congrats, you missed the forest for the weeds. The media and the dems are both to blame for refusing to pull a single thread on Santos' apparent complete fabrication of nearly everything. There's no way that, for instance, you know that he's been lying about his parents dying in 9/11 and just don't mention it ever. loving this up is just another in the pile of ways the New York Democrats completely poo poo the bed across the board this cycle and, just like every other way, they're lying through their teeth about how it's not actually their fault.
